Justice of the Peace Irwin Says He Will Not Be Candidate.

Schuyler C. Irwin, who has been the only active Justice of the Peace in Marion township for a number of years, has decided not again to be a candidate. He has made an able official, and practically every case in a justice’s court in Marion township in the past ten years has been handled by him, while during that time he has performed a large number of marriage ceremonies. He has administered the office with entire fairness and regard for the law and his decision to withdraw will be a matter of general regret. When interviewed by the waiter, Mr. Irwin said: “I believe in passing the g6od things around once in awhile.” He smiled as he Baid “good things” for he realizes that the Justice of the Peace is a mighty poorly paid official, considering the fact that he must maintain an office and be constantly on hand to look after business. Mr. Irwin has made a good official and people generally, without regard to politics, will regret that he has determined not to accept the office again. •He will devote all his time to his legal, abstract and loan business, which now keeps him very busy.
